X-Play: Dead Rising 2 All Access Preview

If you want to find out loads of juicy, brain-eating details about Capcom’s upcoming zombified sequel Dead Rising 2, you go to the source. And in this case, the sources would be Capcom’s global head of development Keiji Inafune and Blue Castle Games executive producer Rob Barrett. X-Play recently sheltered Inafune and Barrett from a shambling hoard of the undead long enough to bring you an All Access preview that's filled with tidbits like this one:

“One of the reasons I definitely feel there are no imitators to the game is the basic game design dictates that you’re basically on the defense. What makes Dead Rising so unique, and so great is that you’re being rewarded for being proactive. You want to go out and kill more zombies. It’s fun to throw yourself in the mix and use a wide variety of weapons and actions in order to beat the zombies down in a variety of different grotesque manners.”
